The artwork titled “Harvest,” created by Helen Frankenthaler in 1976, belongs to the Abstract Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction movements. It is an abstract genre piece that showcases the artist’s distinct approach to color and form.
The artwork features a striking composition where a dominant, muted yellow background is juxtaposed with abstract red and orange forms. The application of color appears fluid, with broad, sweeping strokes as well as more defined, linear elements. These various forms and lines interact in a way that gives a sense of movement and depth, embodying the hallmarks of Lyrical Abstraction. The overall effect is both captivating and contemplative, drawing the viewer into the complex interplay of colors and shapes.
